  This is a rather fancy bar/restaurant. I read in the description that it had a bowling alley, so thought it would be pretty casual. The hostess was rather dismissive and rude to me, likely because I was not appropriately dressed for the occasion. I was about to walk out, but the manager rushed in and saved the day. From that point on, the service, food and drinks were great. One thing to note: this place has tapas and family style dishes, and nothing in between. So not the best spot for dinner unless you have a party of two or more.

  Wow. Seriously wow. We visited for happy hour and had an incredibly delicious, inventive, filling, and fun time. Our server, Johnathan, was very attentive (but not overly so) and when he didn't know the answer to a question, was quick to ask the manager. He was friendly and, after we told him we were new to the area, made several suggestions of other nearby places to visit. The food was truly excellent. The croquettes were tasty on their own, but the horseradish sauce they were served in brought them to the next level. We also had the burger which was cooked perfectly and came with VT style cheddar (our favorite) and remoulade. The beef skewers may have been the most tender beef I've had in a year, and the whipped ricotta was delightfully light and nicely seasoned. We each got drinks, and all of this (before tax) was $27!! We will DEFINITELY be back!

  A short walk from the Convention Center. Food was okay but pricey for the quality. Waitstaff was friendly. Each dish comes out when ready so not everyone at the table will begin eating at the same time. The restaurant is very dark. The two of us were seated on either side of a bracket mounted to a bench running alongside the wall. A small flat table surface is attached to the bracket. When eating, you twist your body sideways - a novel seating concept. We were facing the bar (lots of fun people-watching entertainment). ( : Overall, we were not impressed with this restaurant’s decor or food but this is a “hip” place so you better make a reservation if you want to eat here.

  Only been once so far, mainly because of location I have become a Jersey boy, but damn it was good. We meet up with friends for brunch and it was well worth every penny. So first you can get a group of brunch drinks, mimosas, Bellinis, & bloody Mary's for $15. Not a bad deal there. Now the food...oh bother it was good. So they had fresh everything, fresh granola, fresh yogurt, a donut bar where you make your own donut, fresh waffles, fresh pastries, am omelette bar, just everything is fresh.

  Very cool atmosphere. Feels like you're in a bar from the 30s. Service is excellent. Happy hour runs from 4pm - 7pm, with $4 glasses of wine, beer, and cocktails. Food is tasty. Entrees are about average price for a Center City restaurant. Definitely one of my favorite spots for a drink after work.
